Setup Gen3

Gen3 features a friendly GraphQL API for searching and discovering data. The GraphQL API enables faceted and precise searching through the flexible data model. Search capabilities enable quick and easy creation of virtual cohorts that can be exported to a manifest for data download.

Submit Metadata & Data

Create your whitelist yaml, use Gen3’s Sheepdog microservice to begin submitting metadata, and download the gen3-client to begin submitting data to your commons. Or look into how to build your own submission apps.

Access Metadata & Data

Gen3 includes a data portal as a default application over a commons. The portal is an interactive website that allows users to explore, submit, and download data. The data portal utilizes the public APIs offered by the data commons as a demonstration to the power of Gen3. Or look into how to build your own submission apps.
